A student is
dead and more than 100 others injured following a stampede that resulted from a
false alarm over a terror attack.
It happened
when students at a University panicked when an electricity transformer exploded.
People at Nairobi
University's Kikuyu campus mistook the blast and panicked early Sunday morning.

Some avoided
using the entrances to their hostels, thinking that Al-Shabab militants were lying
in wait, preparing to ambush them and subsequently began jumping out of windows.
Some jumped
from as high as the 6th floor.
One man died
from the jump and several other students were critically injured.
Many
suffered cuts and broken limbs.
Tensions are
high at campuses across the country after an attack on a college 10 days ago,
which left 148 dead.
